CHICAGO (December 23, 2019) – Loyola University Chicago junior Cameron Krutwig (Algonquin, Ill./Jacobs) has been named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week it was announced today. The 6-foot-9 center is the first Rambler to take home MVC Player of the Week accolades this season.
 
Krutwig had another solid week, averaging 15.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.5 assists, while shooting 55.6 percent (10-for-18) from the field, in a pair of games last week for Loyola. 
 
The 2019-20 MVC Preseason Player of the Year became the first Valley post player since 1989 to record a triple-double when he notched 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a 78-70 victory over Vanderbilt for Loyola's third win over a SEC opponent in as many seasons. The triple-double is also believed to be the first in Loyola history. He is also one of only two centers to have posted a triple-double this season (Luke Knapke of Toledo is the other).
 
Krutwig then delivered eight points, 11 rebounds and three assists in a 59-56 loss to Davidson December 22. 
 
One of only 23 players in Loyola history to rack up over 1,000 points and 500 rebounds, Krutwig ranks 34th in program annals with 1,113 points. For the year, 6-foot-9 center is putting up 16.2 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 4.7 apg and 1.2 spg, and hitting 61.9 percent (83-for-134) of his field goal tries.
 
Loyola (8-5) opens Missouri Valley Conference action December 30 when it travels to Valparaiso.
